The Reason for my Absence....

I have disappeared from the blogging world for the last month or so. I've been feverishly working on my photography blog: www.belindaolsen.com. I love the way that it turned out! I've been working on transferring some images from here to there and I've loved the clients I've worked with. Now that is up and running........

we'll see. :-)

Here are just a few of the projects that I've been working on lately.

One of my new favorite stores....

I have fallen in love with Anthropologie! I love this store and love it the most when they have S-A-L-E-S!  I have fallen in love with these jewelry pieces and am really excited for craft day next Saturday with my cousins to make jewelry and hair accessories.  If anyone has any great ideas, tips, places to pick up unique pieces, websites with instructions just leave me a comment with the address.

Yellowstone

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to head to Yellowstone with some friends, the Rodemack's.  I have lived in Logan all my life, a few short hours away from Yellowstone and had never been there before. (gasp, I know)  

Getting to Yellowstone was a drive that should have only taken 4 short hours but actually took us closer to 10.  We had lots and lots of car troubles...well it wasn't our car but the Rodemack's car that we were driving there. The car over heated, the brake pads had to be replaced, ultimately almost the entire engine needed to be replaced.  At one of our stops in tiny little town, Idaho with no real gas station, I saw this picture and had to smile.  It was complete irony and fitting for our trek.

While the guys were trying to find a store with antifreeze I was wondering and explore through a lot of vacant, dilapidated buildings and stumbled across this...

Portrait photography is by far my main area of focus. It was really different and challenging to focus on landscapes.  This is one of my favorite shots of the trip for some reason.  It's different than the traditional shots you always see.

I couldn't decide if I liked it more in color or black and white.

I love rainbows! They always make me stop and smile.

I would love to be fishing here...
